Honest question: why would anyone use Opus instead of this? I’m doing web development, the whole shebang, and I don’t think I need Opus right now. I know it’s supposed to be smarter, but a 2%–5% improvement doesn’t seem meaningful, especially when it costs more than double and has only a portion of the context window.

Am I getting this wrong? I would seriously appreciate any clarification here.

Opus understands the intent, even if your prompt is not good, Opus usually understand what you are trying to say and does a great job. With Sonnet I have to step in and say, I didn't mean that, I meant X, so do X.

The 2-5% margin makes a much bigger difference when it comes to complex problems.
